Introduction

Purpose

Create a synthetic measurement toolkit for the precise quantification of UV radioactive radiation. (toolkit :simple. cheap and highly sensitive)

UV radiation and radioactivity are two natural radiation types we get in contact with every day

UV radiation can:

  • Weaken the immune system of human
  • Increase the risk of skin cancer, cataracts
  • Make a depth damage in gene

Recently, due to artificial chemical substances such as CFC (Freon) continued destroy the ozone layer. UV increasing the threaten to human.

Project

We assembled a complete wintergreen odor biosynthetic system by combining the salicylic acidand wintergreen odor generators .catalyzes the conversion of the cellular metabolite chorismate to methyl salicylate or wintergreen odor.

Our ultimate objective is to design a beautiful and practical products, this product has the doll shape, The doll has our designed biological system inside.When this toolkit has been irradiate by sun in long time people can smell a special odor that made by wintergreen odor system.


Project

E. coli with the organic phosphorus degrading enzyme gene

Organ phosphorus pesticide (organ phosphorus, pesticides, Ops) is a kind of very important highly efficient pesticides. Its wide use with large amount has caused the serious environmental pollution, and it can adhere to the surface of some fruits and vegetables. Organic phosphorus belongs to the nerve poison, mainly the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity in blood and tissue of human, leading to accumulation of neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, thereby blocking nerve conduction, cause central nervous system poisoning.

Organic phosphorus degrading enzyme can break the phosphate ester bond. If the phosphate ester bond of organic phosphorus is hydrolyzed, its toxicity will greatly reduce. Gene engineering bacteria degradation is new technology to treat organ phosphorous pesticides pollution. Our project aims to build a kind of E. coli with the organic phosphorus degrading enzyme gene, which can transfer the harmful organ phosphorus pesticide into nearly unharmful phosphorus compounds.
